I have lures from two bucks to twenty. As long as they catch fish and you work the lure differant ways to see what works. If you have to change some hooks after a while on a cheap lure who cares. As long as it catchs fish. Fancy finish, to me it does not matter. Remember, " Put a string of pearls on a PIG, It's still a PIG."
